Kenyans are in awe with a mansion whose photos and videos have been going viral on social media because of its unique nature. 

Located behind Airports Tanners in Zimmerman, Nairobi, the mansion is a usual combination of four Storey rental apartments and a bungalow built on top. 

A section of Kenyans praised the owner for the creativity and utilization of space while others continue to question the stability of the bungalow located a top the rental houses.

However, others are skeptical of the safety of the building while still appreciating the creativity behind the design of the Zimmerman building.

The owner, revealed to be a Kenyan national who spent time in the United States, decided to build her home on top of the story building as an opportunity to make money while actualizing her home ownership dream.

Notably, the residents have sworn by its safety stating that it has been occupied for months now.

“It is very safe and because it has been around for months. This is very creative; we should all emulate this. It is even more beautiful at night,” one user on X stated.

What is its link with the Indian Multimillion Penthouse?

Dubbed the Bradijon mansions, the Zimmerman building has been compared to a Ksh2.9 billion penthouse in India belonging to a businessman known as Vijay Mallya.

The Iconic Indian penthouse has been constructed with the same concept as the Bradijon mansion. A luxurious mansion sits on top of a 400-foot apartment building. 

Mallya’s home is built on top of the Kingfisher Towers in Bengaluru, India and covers 40,000 square feet. It also shares nothing with the rest of the apartments in the building below.

The tycoon has enjoyed vast wealth including a private jet, a customized Boeing 727, his own Formula 1 team and an array of homes around the world including the penthouse.

Kenyans Compare Similar Penthouse Designs in Nairobi

Kenyans have noted that the design is quickly gaining popularity in Nairobi estates especially Ruaka, Ruiru and Kiambu apartments. 

“I saw one in Kayaba Estate…We have one in Ruaka Muchatha, it is on top of my roof, very smart, expensive and furnished…Shout out to the architect…,” some comments on X read in part. 

For property owners, it is a quick way to minimize cost and maximize profit and used of land.
